Story
Akai camd from a shelter in NC.  Here is what the shelter said about her: 'This beautiful girl is Akaie. She has been fostered out twice to potential adopters from our shelter but returned both times, as neither potential adopter was familiar with the breed and she was “too much” for them. There was no mention of aggression or anything dealing with behavior, just that she was too strong for one’s wife to walk while he is at work and then the second foster read information on the breed and decided she was not a match for her. We would love to find an Akita Rescue that could pull her from our facility and find the right family for her. ' The shelter workers adored her. Here is what we know about her from her time with us.  She is great with people.  Very particular about what dogs she likes.  Has a fairly high prey drive, so no small dogs or cats. She is at our kennel.  As with all Akitas, she does not like to potty in her run.  Update: Akai has been in a foster home for about 3 weeks. She’s been to the groomers and the vet, no issues with anyone there. She will sit, down and dance when you ask to. She mostly walks well with minor corrections.  She is housebroken and the foster says she is a gem. She has been to the foster’s place of business (store), and has been okay with most of the customers.  She is not crazy about men in baseball caps. A contractor waring a hat met her and when he held out his hand for her to sniff, she growled.  Once he removed his hat, she was fine. One man walked into the store and she disliked him so much she had to be out of the store.Sh barked intensely at him.  Akai needs a home with some Akita experience.

Story
Mama Kiki and her 2 week old puppies luckily landed in the shelter as strays.  The shelter contacted rescue, we were lucky to find a temporary foster and then regular foster home for them.  She will be available once her puppies are weaned and she is spayed.  Both foster homes say she is very sweet and food oriented.  She was bone thin when she came to us, probably having been in poor shape before her pregnancy.  Watch her blossom once she is no longer feeding her pups. The oicture of her wwith the white Akita is her meeting and interacting with him, the resident dog at the foster home.See more pix and  video of mom and her pups at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/  Ashoka and Omega have applications on them.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 12, 2024, 5:22 pm

Introducing Converse, a delightful 4-year-old husky ❤️🐾 Converse has a calm and gentle demeanor, making him a total joy to be around. He is remarkably well-behaved and walks gracefully on a leash. Converse is incredibly affectionate and would adore snuggling up with you on the sofa. He is also a social butterfly and gets along famously with kids, cats, and other dogs, which makes him a fantastic addition to any family. He is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Don’t miss the chance to welcome Converse into your home and experience the joy he brings! 😍 RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such.

Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog.
